Institution Notes:
The City University of New York (CUNY) was founded in 1961. It consists of 20 Colleges at which music is offered in eleven. Queens College, itself founded in 1937, became part of the City University of New York in 1961. The School of Music has access to several fine performance spaces, including those in the Kupferberg Center for the Visual and Performing Arts. The Benjamin Rosenthal Library holds an extensive collection of books and recordings, and houses about 65,000 items in its performance library section (orchestral, chamber, vocal and choral works) as well as the Louis Armstrong Archive. The David Walker Collection is devoted to music education. Interested students are offered the chance to take lessons on Japanese traditional instruments (koto, shamisen, shakuhachi). There is an extensive opera program, taken in co-operation with the department of drama, theatre and dance. The Lawrence Eisman Center for Preparatory Studies in Music offers music instruction in performance, theory and aural skills to young musicians ages 3 to 18, including Suzuki piano, violin and cello classes and Dalcroze classes for the very young.
